Product description
Château La Mission Haut Brion, located in the Pessac Léognan appellation of Bordeaux, is a legendary estate with roots dating back to the 16th century. Now under the stewardship of Domaine Clarence Dillon, the estate shares ownership with the neighbouring Château Haut Brion, both revered for their meticulous winemaking and historical significance. La Chapelle is the second wine of the estate, crafted with the same precision and terroir-driven philosophy as its grand vin.
Wine Description
This 2022 vintage offers a deep ruby colour with violet highlights. The nose opens with refined notes of black cherry, blueberry, and cedar, underpinned by subtle touches of graphite and pencil shaving. On the palate, it is medium to full bodied, with a supple texture and elegant tannins, delivering flavours of ripe plum, blackberry, dark chocolate, and a hint of forest floor. The finish is long and layered, showcasing freshness and finesse.
